Catching has been very productive the last couple days. Last night at Cape Hatteras, Red Drum Tackle reports 70 – 80 big drum were caught and released. Most were hooked on bait, some on metal. Satellite imagery shows the water temps in the surf on the northern beaches are getting much warmer – Duck Pier shows it at 63 degrees. There are schools of nice puppy drum working their way north along the beaches. lots of blues are being caught from the surf and the piers. If this weather holds, look for some Spanish mackerel to start showing up.
This weather pattern is expected to hold the next couple days. If you don’t put a line in the water, you won’t catch anything!
TAKE A KID FISHING ………… Coolbreeze out
